Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Last time I went down, I went empty-handed No cash, no flask, no plan, no brandy Stood at the gates lookin' like a fool This time around, I'm breakin' every rule Got a flask in my boot and a bottle in my coat Got a backup guitar and a backup joke The devil don't know what's comin' his way I'm checkin' back in on my own damn day [Chorus] See you in hell — this time I'm bringing my own whiskey Last time was a disaster, this time's gonna get risky I got a seat saved right up front, don't you worry 'bout that But I ain't drinkin' your well water or your bargain basement swill, Jack See you in hell — save me a seat, but save your cheap bourbon too I'm bringing my own bottle, and I'm sharing it with who I choose [Verse 2] The devil thought he'd seen the last of my face Now I'm knockin' on his door like I own the place Got a list of demands and a song to sing "Better jukebox, better lighting, and a working everything" He opens the door, sees me standin' there Sighs so deep he loses some of his hair Says "you again?" I say "miss me, sweetheart?" He says "not even slightly," I say "good, let's start" [Chorus] See you in hell — this time I'm bringing my own whiskey Last time was a disaster, this time's gonna get risky I got a seat saved right up front, don't you worry 'bout that But I ain't drinkin' your well water or your bargain basement swill, Jack See you in hell — save me a seat, but save your cheap bourbon too I'm bringing my own bottle, and I'm sharing it with who I choose [Bridge — spoken, grinning wide] You know what I figured out on the way back down? Hell's only scary if you ain't been around. I done my time. I drank their rotgut. I slept in their mold. Now I'm comin' back like a landlord — and I'm collectin' what I'm owed. [pulls out flask, takes a sip] ...plus, I brought the good stuff. [Instrumental break — triumphant, messy, all guitars and grins. Like a man walking into a bar he knows he's gonna get thrown out of — and he can't wait.] [Outro — sung, loud, free] See you in hell — this time I'm ready! Got my own damn whiskey and my own damn steady hand! Save me a seat, but don't you pour a drop 'Cause I brought enough for everyone — yeah, even you, sweetheart — that's the plan! See you in hell! See you in hell! SEE YOU IN HELL — [spoken, quiet, laughing:] ...save me a seat. I'll save you a headache. [one last chord. A laugh. Then the sound of boots walking toward the door. Then silence.]
